We Wanted More Rock Crawling... So We Made A New Jeep Trail!!

Crossbar Off-road Park: www.crossbarra...
Mike and I head down to Crossbar Offroad Park to expand a new trail down in the creekbed. We scoped this trail out a few weeks ago and it looked very promising... Usually, water is flowing which would add another layer of difficulty, but with the recent drought it made a great opportunity to get in and clear the path for a trail!
I know this video is a little different than the usual uploads, but this was fun to make and show you guys some of the stuff behind the scenes.
After finishing the trail, we took the Jeep Gladiator JT down it. With 37s, lockers, and the longer wheelbase, we were able to navigate the rock obstacles pretty easily. Of course, we will have to come back out and wheel it one the water is flowing again!
Thanks for watching and stay tuned for the next video.

Nice rock crawling on the Jeep gladiator

[@fullreleaseblake]

Ben, my wife's from Lawton and used to go to Turner Falls as a kid, and I believe we'll be headed that way in the near future to visit where she's from (Fort Sill) and will head that way to Davis to hit the Crossbar Off-road park in the Jeep Gladiator Mojave for sure! Thanks for doing what you do sir!

[@chriscooper5395]

Love seeing the Gladiator out putting in work. It's how I use mine.

[@DownNDirty_OffRoad]

Looks like a fun park and great new trail!!😃

[@PaulKaiser42]

That was awesome!!! Can’t wait to see the JK run that ???? Trail.

[@calvinsweeney2970]

Hey Ben! It’s Calvin, the one who bought that genright bumper from you! Let me know if you ever need any help cutting more trails, happy to tag along!

[@olyj40]

Great work guys. Can't wait to see more jeepers running it. How bout calling it "Ben and Mikes run."

[@StormbornJKU]

Looks fun!

[@johnboudreau5135]

I'm not sure why you killed the snake. It was trying to get out of your way. Just be aware that they are there.

[@2001cptdale]

Nope....ALL cottonmouths deserve to die

[@Xasukis]

this looks like fun been looking for something to take my jeep out on OKC seems like not many spots for us, thank you. Not sure I would make it though in mine only 35's. Only about an hour from my house if you guys need an extra pair hands hit me up

[@bigzoffroad]

I think it should definitely have something to do with the Snake. Cottonmouth Gulch Cottonmouth Creek Snake Skeleton Run (or Race, Ditch, Crick)

[@bigzoffroad]

Change that to Cottonmouth.

[@michaelw2304]

Those are good suggestions

[@jakeflanary6025]

[@BruceLEEroy721]

Can't believe you killed the snake. We have heaps here in Australia, just let them go on their way.

Can’t wait to run this one brotha 🤘🏼

[@oklahomaterrain]

looked like a water snake, harmless, unless it had lines on side of the mouth and point face, cotton mouth.

[@thedonkeyshowjku7042]

We did they same thing today at lake ozark off-road park(the loop) had a blast

[@hjstrater]

You came up with a great Trail name, “Is this how I die?”

[@caroleertel2961]

Nice job 👍🏻

[@Smoke-LXXV]

"the snake pit" or "Sawzall pass". LOL

[@PhatboyHD88]

“HOT DAM” trail ties into oh Schmit trail 😂 i think “HOT DAM” is a great name for the trail..

[@riverlee001]

We could help if our schedule lines up We were there last weekend had a blast

[@dannymouton9824]

Rock snake or snake coffin would be cool names for the trail

Oh, Cottonmouth Coffin?

Wasn’t sure on the move to kill a evading snake…venomous or non venomous you were in his habitat not the opposite. Awesome trail tho.

Rockasin trail.

You could call that trail the wet serpent slide

That would have been a good one!

Cactus Creek - just plain and simple. Great looking trail though.

Offroad Addiction OKC hit this trail back in July. They have a video on it on their channel.

True I told Josh and Indy about the trail. They are close friends of mine.

That should be a badge trail. Different is good. How to you like the ball joint delete kit so far

serpent crossing is a name i like pretty well

Crocs straight messed up.

[@AustinH7]

Why did you kill that snake man? Please don’t give off-roaders a bad name. We have enough issues from the environmentalists

[@tonysantana1493]

I think you should name it Slither Trail. Since you'll be sharing it with the snakes😉😂

[@angushoover8670]

Except that they're not sharing it with the snakes, they're killing them, unnecessarily.

[@baoradeon878]

People: "Why did you kill that snake? You're bad" Same people :" Hey, let's me get some chicken nuggets plus a steak and cheese extra meat" 😂

[@Burke_Motorsports]

Ben, how do you feel trail Mike and you cut to what you have run out here in the Phoenix area? I am now on 35" tires with my TJ. I am ready for harder trails out here.

[@sgtmiki_]

How is that throttle body space working on the jt

[@that68lifestyle]

Potential trail name "Rock Moccasin Trail"

[@ZroCool_Garage]

Should have at least ate it if you’re going to kill it, grilled snake is delicious

[@phelandeluna5439]

If they had at least eaten it, I wouldn't have unsubscribed. But just killing another creature for no reason, not cool

[@andresrivera2124]

Niceeee

[@stevens15007]

Live and let live, no need to kill the snake it was obviously trying to avoid you....

[@dustys3320]

Based on the snake i say "Cottonmouth draw" for the trail name

[@TwistedOff]

👍

[@johnhollis2565]

Cactus Pass!

[@kwilcox417]

Not really sure why you two felt the need to kill the snake when it was moving away, seemed very unnecessary. Solid work on the trail though.

[@jimwoods9380]

How about "Snake-skin Pass"?!?!?

[@knightscape]

Mocassin pass/mile/trail

[@user-tn8zl9fc6k]

That looks like a fun trail! I vote to name it "Snake Rock" trail.

[@raystevens687]

call your new trial Back Buster. Because by the time you get through your is screaming 😱 at you.

[@JD-lt1kx]

Cotton Mouth Creek and if it was a cotton mouth thanks for getting rid of it. They are mean and had one chase me when I was younger.

[@MTRIGGLEMAN1]

The whole time i am watching this i am just waiting on a snake to pop in frame. someone else mentioned Mocassin pass i know i dont get a vote but if i did i like that one.

O’Schmidt ain’t no joke…I recently walked up it with this guy who has a BADA*S red JK………Supposedly he has a KZbin channel …Never watched it…LOL

Dead Snack Trail !!!! lol

Love your channel and won't unsubscribe for this, but you are getting heat for the snake killing for many reasons. Should've edited that part out. Looks juvenile. This kind of activity can get certain organizations all riled up. This kind of activity is why certain organizations hate off roaders. Hunting, liked you did, should be done legally in general, but especially to keep the offroad community in good graces with the community. Venomous or not, you should've let the snake go, and you definitely should've kept it off your video to save heat. This comment comes from an offroader and a legal hunter.

[@letsgobrandon1298]

Boo hoo

[@angushoover8670]

Fully agree. Killing the snake was unnecessary. As a General rule, animals want nothing to do with people. You guy's are the one's invading its home.

[@frankdepaolo3633]

Not sure what kind of off-roader you claim to be. But, it’s off-roaders like Ben that help the community grow. You are riled up, but are trying to hide behind some lame excuse of just helping.

[@yfz450jrc]

@@frankdepaolo3633 he has done a wonderful job growing AND educating the community. I'm suggesting he just not eff it up. Killing animals, vanadalism, littering, ignoring trail rules etc. is the reason we have do go to town halls to beg our communities to let us keep offroading. Truly not that riled up. Suggested it was juvenile, not criminal. Hopefully it doesn't keep you up all night.
